All you need to do get here easily is to commit a crime over seas, arrive at our borders, and claim you will be tortured or executed if sent home and voila , you get a house, benefits and legal aid, if what you are given is not to your liking. Ok i get the impression that is what happens but it seems that there are some genuine people out there who have been denied a visa when they want to work, pay taxes, and contribute to our society, where as someone who does not is allowed to stay. crazy country we live in.
